Agility news 15.12.2008
Iosono Diamante & Inka had done agility since August and today was the last time. To a surprise of every participant there was a competition. There were two courses, the first course was with weave poles (12 gates) and the another was without (11 gates). Tosca won both courses, the weave poles course with the time 28 sec and course without weave poles with time 23 sec. How proud I am of Tosca and myself. The Cirneco really can do agility!!!! Now we will have two week's Christmas break from agility and then we'll start agility in Hyvinkää Dog Sports Center in January. Can't wait!

Mating trip to Moscow
Iosono Incredibile aka Siri & Inka travelled to Moscow in the middle November. Siri met handsome Alex (Pablo del Gelso Bianco) and now we are expecting Cirneco puppies to be born in the middle of January, 2009.
The trip went very well, we travelled to Moscow via St. Petersburg by train (thank you Svetlana for helping me with the tickets!). I saw three Miki puppies (Colisto's Bambi, Beato & Bettina), all looking very good and promissing. I also had some free time in Moscow: we visited Moscow's biggest night club with Bambi's owners Sveta & Pasha, and Tanya, Sergei & Alla showed me Moscow's sightseeings. Thank you all for such an incredible trip! I really enjoyed (and so did Siri ;))
 Alex & Siri had delicious dates
